chronic fatigue, disoriented, weak

by amanda725, Aug 12, 2009 01:39PM
for years now i have been chronically so tired i cant hardly do anything as well as disoriented and brain fog. it gets worse when i try to walk or stand a lot or go out in nthe heat. i get to where i can barely change diapers now. i recently got diagnosed with add but since starting the concerta i still feel overwhelmingly tired even more now and when i lay down to take a nap i always feel like im just barely sleeping not ever in a deep sleep at all..and i wake up feeling dizzy and tingly and disoriented but this is BEFORE i ever move my head off of the pillow or stand up at all... it gets a little better as im awake but some of it lasts for hours...and i feel exhausted after waking up. i did an eeg a year or so ago and it found siezures but after i started the meds and did another 72 hour eeg it found no more siezures even though my symptoms had never gone away at all. my doctors going to try me on adderall (adderrall) next and im terrified of having siezures in my sleep or something else life threatening...i dont know whats wrong.

Have you been to a cardiologist? Get another eeg too. Tilt table test to check autonomic dysfunction. Sleep study?
